    Morning all. Finally getting round to posting here. Baby is 4 months now and getting a bit wild. He can now roll from his back to his front so is doing it at every opportunity. Have to stick him in the jumperoo now if im nipping to the loo as im scared where he'l end up if i left him on his mat. Started purees here too and he loves them.

    hope everyone else and little ones are doing good.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    I thought this may be useful for anybody with boys who is looking to be organised for winter. Unfortunately as my baby is a girl they are not much use to us but I hope it saves some of you some money. I had the same thing for my younger son and got 2 years use out of them so even at full price they are cost effective :D

    Hello all :hello: I haven't been here because I used to post from my phone, which was stolen by some inconsiderate scuzzbag about 3 weeks ago.

    How is everyone keeping? Are we all enjoying the sunshine?

    I had to buy a big sunshade for the buggy, it was £25 :eek: but it covers the whole thing, which makes it look like I'm pushing a giant bin bag but it beats the stuffing out of those umbrella ones :)

    I used to have a door bouncer for DD1, she loved it. It was helpful when I was cooking etc because it meant that I could put her in the doorway and she'd be occupied and safe.

    Hi Delain. how are you? Just wondering do you go to any local baby groups? be nice to meet up maybe?
    ps. you(everyone should join the FB group? create an account like Ro did:)

    Can't believe DD is now 5months:eek:and i get married next month:eek:
    We are slowly stopping bf and going to ff and slowly starting weaning.

    HELLO :)

    Havent read back yet but hope everyone is ok. Gilly, how lovely that your little man is on purree now :) hope the reflux is ok too.

    Glad to know the orange dishwasher wasnt just me, took great delight in telling OH it wasnt anything I had put in!!

    My little scamp is 14 weeks old now, hes getting soooo funny. He has just discovered his hands and loves to watch his fingers, he kind of does a superman pose lol.

    I think he will be an early weaner, might have a read up on what we can offer him from 4-5 months.

    We are off on our hollybobs on Sat, going on a 2 week cruise with my family. Packed little mans case last night, got him some super cute little trunks :T
    Hope you are all well, come and visit me over from FB wont you :)

    Nappies are like clothes - different shops fit different people better in terms of them being tight/loose on the waist etc - so what brand works for one baby, might not work for another... some people swear by Huggies, but you don't know what shape or size baby you're going to end up with till they appear - hence stockpiling nappies being a bit riskier than stockpiling things like wipes (although again, some brands might not agree with your baby's skin).

    Personally we started off with Pampers because she was so small when she was born (she was only a 4lb-er) that we needed the pre-size1 size which only really is easily findable in Pampers or Tesco makes. Found the Tesco premature size too bulky for her - but now she's size1/2 we chop and change between Pampers/Tesco/Asda quite happily... Asda Little Angels often get rated quite highly and when they're in size 2 it might be worth looking at the Kiddicare boxes of a month's-worth for about £20 (plus delivery) as well - I know a few people who say they're decent enough.
